Earlier this month, a wave of concern spread across social media following the first study to measure metals in tampons showed they contain arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals. In the new study, researchers analyzed the levels of 16 metals in 30 tampons from 14 different brands. They found 12 of those metals, including toxic ones, in all products tested.
